The Story
On July 4, 1863, the U.S. Army established Fort Boise along the Oregon Trail in southern Idaho. This led to the founding of the neighboring city of Boise three days later. The Army brought a skilled stonemason, Charles May, who designed the fort’s sandstone buildings. Three of the early buildings are still standing, one of which is Building 4, the Surgeon’s Quarters. It served as office and living space for surgeons and their families for more than 120 years and is one of the oldest sandstone buildings in the state.
